Retribution

Heartbreaking the news today
The games that mankind play
Destroy all they don’t understand
Retribution will be swift at hand

So sad the ignorance of humankind
Why are we all so blind?
Hunting animals to extinction
Mother nature shall have her retribution

As she will our attacks on the environment
We’re not looking after it as we’re meant
Ice-caps melting, rising seas
No-one hears natures pleas

Then theirs the attack on our own
All for power and glory it’s shown
Always ignoring the cries for peace
As governments continue to fleece

Retribution will one day follow
In payback to all those hollow
Retribution will have its day
Karma and balance will have its say

I'm a thinker, listener, a "question's pretty much everything" type of person. A seeker of knowledge, always restless, yet seeks the calm in life. I love writing in all forms and am in the process of completing a number of ongoing projects. I love the craft of writing and the possibilities it holds. A magic carpet through the mind. I love pretty much all creative arts, music, film and theatre the leading ones. Born in Hertfordshire in England, my family Irish, Welsh and English, I currently reside in Edinburgh, in Scotland. I'm drawn to coastal and mountain regions where I like to go to think and draw inspiration from. Ireland is a place that's dear to me, and I try to get back to see family and friends as much as possible. My interests are wide and broad, too many to mention here, but history, archaeology, criminology, music and film are just some of those things I love. I hope you enjoy my ramblings on here as that's what they are really. I'll let my fingers do the ''talking...''
